It seems there is a new designer du jour in Tinseltown: Parisian brand, Carven. Although the design house is over 65 years old, Hollywood’s youngest and brightest stars including Kim Kardashian, Emma Watson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Leighton Meester and Demi Moore are flocking to the collection for its playful silhouettes and unique details. Last September, Kardashian indulged in some high-end retail therapy, touring France in a voluminous Carven frock with a peekaboo back. Two months later, Emma Watson rocked a coquettish putty-colored shift dress accented with a classic schoolgirl collar. Flash forward to the L.A. premiere of No Strings Attached where Demi Moore dazzled in the brand’s double-zip design with sculpted shoulders. Carven describes its aesthetic as “student-boho chic” with “a distinct taste for contrast,” but we only have two words: “C’est l’amour!” Snag some Carven pieces for yourself at net-a-porter.com, with prices starting at $320. –Justine Harman

TREND ALERT: Winona Ryder, Jessica Alba and Halle Berry Suit Themselves!

It looks like Hollywood stylistas are suiting themselves–literally! Yesterday we asked if you would wear a suit and tie like Leighton Meester did to the Gotham Independent Film Awards. And while our respondents were split down the middle on the trend, A-listers like Winona Ryder, Jessica Alba and Halle Berry, are clearly giving the look a sartorial thumbs up. Ryder, who has dabbled in menswear before, upped the ante last night, arriving at the N.Y.C. premiere of Black Swan in a tuxedo jacket, black oxford, slacks and a blinged-out lariat necklace, while Alba ditched the feminine frocks in favor of a fitted Dolce & Gabbana blazer, and slouch trousers for Footwear News’ 24^th annual Achievement Awards. Rounding out Tuesday night’s trifecta was Halle Berry, who selected a jacquard black and gold ’70s-inspired look with a plunging sparkly blouse—all by Balmain. We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again, menswear is definitely a fall wardrobe staple, but we usually reserve the full-on look for interviews. Tell us: Do you think the look suits Winona, Jessica and Halle? - Justine Harman

Would You Wear a Suit and Tie Like Leighton Meester?

Gossip Girl‘s Leighton Meester continues to don get-ups that would leave Blair Waldorf bristling in her Brian Atwoods. Two weeks after donning a plunging, sheer Marchesa jumpsuit, the fearless stylista takes a page out of AnnaLynne McCord’s book, sporting a charcoal Thom Browne suit complete with flood trousers, white oxford shirt and matching neck tie to the Gotham Independent Film Awards in N.Y.C. on Monday night. Eschewing feminine details, Meester opted for simple on-trend wine-hued pumps, smoky lids and mussed up tresses to complete her look. Though the androgynous look may be a bold introduction to Browne’s foray into women’s clothes, we’re not sure how we feel about Leighton’s literal take on menswear.
